Film Inquiry

Even the title of Master of Dark Shadows aims the documentary squarely at the large and enthusiastic audience, and this is the audience that is likely to enjoy it most. Nonetheless, this is an informative and engaging production.

Den of Geek

It is a fun film, which moves quickly and has new information some fans might not even know. But it makes its point: Dan Curtis did a lot more than horror, even if he was instrumental in shaping it on TV.

Rated: 3.5/5

This is a good documentary but much of this was covered in the comments and interviews featured on the box set of DS.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
